KYIV, Ukraine — The Ukrainian military’s long-anticipated counteroffensive against occupying Russian forces has begun, opening a phase in the war aimed at restoring Ukraine’s territorial sovereignty and retaining Western support in the war. Ukraine’s troops intensified their attacks on the front line in the country’s southeast, according to four individuals in the country’s armed forces, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the battlefield developments.

Destruction of the column of the Armed Forces of Ukraine with Leopard 2 tanks A column of about 10 tanks, armored personnel carriers and infantry fighting vehicles advanced on Russian positions at the Rabotino -Verbovoye line from Malaya Tokmachka, but was stopped by fire from the RF Armed Forces.

Part of the equipment was blown up by mines and was abandoned by the crews. Others were hit by artillery and ATGM crews in forest plantations along country roads and in fields. Coordinates: However, yesterday’s unsuccessful UAF attack is especially noteworthy in that at least two German Leopard 2A4 tanks took part in it. This is the first objective evidence

combat use of vehicles of this type by Ukrainian formations.

The quality of the photos from the UAV camera does not allow us to determine whether they were destroyed or damaged. However, some pictures show that the tanks are standing in the field side by side with other vehicles blown up by mines: with a certain probability, at least one of the Leopards was indeed put out of action.
